Artur Arsénio Bento Pastor was born in Alter do Chão on May 1, 1922 and died in Lisbon on September 17, 1999.
He was one of the greatest Portuguese photographers of the 20th century.
Born in 1922, in an Alentejo that has become numb in the social and economic torpor of a grey and isolated Portugal, Artur Pastor has no parallel in the country and not even in Europe for his ethnographic photography work that exposes in a raw and poetic way the real, hard and sweet facets of the country.
